may i know how much u get for the wells water dispenser
Thank you very much... practical tips and reallyl useful. :)
Thank you for your kind comments. We're happy you found it useful! 😊
Hi. Thanks for this video. May I check whether the kitchen faucet has been working well 1 year in? Thanks!
hello! yup, so far so good! 🙂
Why dont u put false ceiling so all the gas pipe trunking can hide inside?
Congrats on your renovation journey and moving in. I am just wondering, wouldn’t the track lights be overly excessive? In the sense, the lights are targeted in a small area instead of dispersing around the entire area. Eg, the Kitchen area you have the lights concentrated at 3 spots instead of say, an LED light strip that disperses light uniformly throughout the area and less harsh on the eyes? Presumably, if you get a dimmable spot light maybe that helps a little?
Hello! We get where you're coming from. For the track lights, we chose it as we wanted to focus on a certain area for eg. our picture frames on the walls to highlight it. LED light strips works great to disperse light equally around so it's up to individual and how you wish to plan for your home. The dimmable option would definitely offer more flexibility too! 🙂
Hi there! can i know what is the height for the guy?
1.7m!
Hi great place and tips...can you share the cost of shipping all the nice things. Thanks
8:57 Must say 细水长流,长长久久~
IS this a Prison Rooms
Dishwasher is amazing!!!!
yes it is!! 😊
Hi, appreciate any review on the sofa? Would you recommend? Thanks. Did you get kitchen and vanity countertop from Taobao?
hello! The sofa has been great for us so far. not too soft and the leather quality is cooling. For the price paid, it's quite worth it. Kitchen and vanity countertop were from EDL Compact! 🙂
Thank you for replying😊
looks great! Can you direct me to a video where you talk about shipping? I am so confused about how to get it to EU
Hello, do you mind sharing about your electrical breaker box cabinet? You guys relaminate it black or paintover?
Hello, it was a paint over the original laminate to black!
Bro, your Ceiling Fan is KDK? can share with me the model? Also, I am considering a Non Smart Ceiling Fan model of KDK but to control by Aqara switches. I am thinking of doing smart switches for all my AC + all Lgt swithes. What is your damages for your Hub + Switches ? To integrate everthing are what platform are you using? I am thinking to have Yale Door Lock for my main gate, etc. Is there any Video for your Aqara video to share with me. Thank you.
I also purchased 1m & 2m Track from Taobao. Also the Dinning lgts from TB. I purchased 6 mths ago and housed in my current house waiting for my keys.
Bro, can you share what is your damages just for the following 1) ELECT Exclude Light. 2) Carpentry
Nice sharing session from you. I am renovating my house soon and have seens a few of your videos. Yes that AC at the kitchen is not so ideal etc. Collecting keys on 10th Jan in 2 days time.
Hi guys, I see that your did concealed floor traps. Does that mean yr voided the waterproofing warranty?
Hello! We overlayed our bathroom tiles so we didn't void the waterproofing warranty.
@lifewithmaniac thx for responding! But doesn't that mean the hdb trap has to be removed too before the new trap can be done? Different id saying different things so im not sure. I was told as long as trap is changed, be it overlay or not the warranty is alr void.
yup, our original trap was removed to make way for the new one. we heard a lot of mixed responses on the waterproofing warranty as well but decided to go ahead with it. I guess if you want to be 100% safe you can check directly with HDB on what the warranty coverage is like before proceeding!
Seems like a great product but their water hook-up seems to be always sold out in their website...
Yes, we would highly recommend the water hook up kit if you're getting the product. Maybe you can write in to the team pre-book one!
Which phase of renovation did you plan the arrival of tabao shipment? After tiling?
Hello! We planned for it to arrive after tiling, however we got it slightly earlier as we couldn't control the actual shipment date from taobao. You can also consider 3rd party option to keep it at a separate store until you are ready to receive the goods!
Just make sure your silicone seal around the wall edge is perfect. If water gets in, those vinyl areas will pop. Also if you mop, the dirty mop water will make the skirting area dirty
one thing people forget, Data point.
yes, thanks for sharing!
would you still recommend no skirtings? does the robot vacuum knock onto the walls or cause any marks?
for us we'll still prefer no skirting as we like to flush our furniture against the wall. the robot vacuum does knock onto the walls sometimes and there is a slight mark which can be cleaned away.
Hi, how has the L20 Ultra been so far? I'm considering it as well. Was the setup easy? What other connection points would you need?
Hello! The L20 Ultra has been working great for us so far. We really like the worry free maintenance it gives us when using it. Setup was easy to get it running. Depending if you're going for the water hookup kit option, all you need is just a electrical connection point for power. 😊
@@lifewithmaniac Thanks man, hoping to get them nearing my house readiness. Definitely going for the waterkit installation, especially with the prem price its charging
you're welcome! yes, the water hookup kit is really worth topping up for! 😊
what software do you use for the 3D design?
hi! sorry for the late reply. we used homestyler to do up the 3D design for our home.
Hi, did y’all engage ID? Or contractor?
Hi, is ur living room aircon enough to cool ur sofa area?
Hello! It's not very cold compared to the dining/kitchen area but still able to feel some of it.
Hello, Can I ask what is the brand of your ceiling fan?
hello! Our ceiling fan brand is Alaska, model Fern/Aspern. 🙂
For the water test in the toilet, it’s best to use a long leveller , the leveller should show u how much is slanted to the drainage….the tiler use this method to prepare the cement base..
Love the explanations of those fruits n cake to bless the new home…what’s the significant of them pineapple ?
In chinese, pineapple signifies "Ong Lai" which translates to "luck come". So we roll the pineapple into our new home to let the luck in. 😂
hi for your smart curtain, did u do the motorized track directly below the beam or from the ceiling? and did u get it from taobao as well?
Hello! We mounted our motorized track below the beam. And yes, we got ours from taobao too!
Bro, may I ask how long does your Carpenter finsh all the works? Ihmo, for your water dispenser, I am thinking, is it advisable to pull the water pipe all the way near the dinning area? ,etc. Putting near the basin seems not so advisable etc. Also, I am thinking of bypassing the filter for the water dispenser, etc. :ps: I gonna get a cheap type, etc.
hello! if i recall correctly it's within a month. For your water dispenser, you can run a pipe all the way to the dining area but likely the pipes will be exposed if not hidden within the tiles which you have to plan ahead. It all depends on the design of you home and where you find it most suitable for you. As for the filter, it's totally up to you. The water from the tap is safe to drink afterall.😅
Congrats on your new home. Did you use Taobao's default shipper Cainao or did you use a third party shipper for your purchases?
Thank you!! We used Taobao's default shipper Cainiao for our shipment! 🙂
hi where do I find the kit for the l20 ultra😀
hello, you can get the water hookup kit from the link here: shp.ee/fn93xak 🙂
Hi are you able to recommend me the contractor that hired this Chinese guy? Would really appreciate it!
Did you use crate for shipping?
Hello! Yes, we requested for the seller to 大木架 for our furniture before shipping out to us.
glad to see sponsors reaching out to you. L20 ultra is indeed the best out there currently, but is it worth it at it's current price?
Hello! It depends on the features that you're looking at for your robot vacuum. The L20 Ultra definitely stands out if you're looking at something with the least maintenance and don't mind paying extra for it. Otherwise, there are other models which are also great and affordable as well.
Hi I am starting my reno soon too... I have something to enquire from you regarding aircon trunking installation... Just to check if the trunking from compressor at aircon ledge to toilet, do you actually choose a position to pipe through or is there a pre cut hole for the trunking? If there si a precut hole, are you not allowed to change position? Thanks alot...
Hello! Congrats on your new home! There is a fixed cutout for the aircon trunking to run through the toilet to the aircon ledge. I believe you can't modify this position. You may wish to check with your ID/aircon supplier to confirm!
did u buy the counter top on taobao at 5:45?
Hello! Yes, but through the same supplier of our countertop, just different design!
did you use 3rd party shipper?
Hello! We went with Taobao's direct shipper, Cainiao.
did u specially request them to ship with the wooden racks or they automatically did it for you? cause im considering idk if i want to use 3rd party shipper or just use taobao's, not sure if there's a big price diff? cause i know if use 3rd party shipper it's abit more troublesome since there's extra steps of updating each item right?@@lifewithmaniac
We requested for them to ship with the wooden racks! you'll just have to top up a little for the extra service via messaging the seller. You're right about the extra steps if you go through a 3rd party shipper which we've tried before. Price difference definitely will have some slight savings. However, we valued the convenience more so we went ahead with taobao's shipper direct. Hope this helps! 🙂
thank you so much!!! @@lifewithmaniac
hi, wud like to know the thickness of the dining table? love the design
Hello! The thickness of our dining table is 5cm.
Can you share details on the dispenser please?
Hello! Our dispenser is from Wells, model name is "The One".
how was it? was the water good for you? @@lifewithmaniac
Hi, may I know where you buy your LED light strips from? Thanks for the video man, it was very insightful
Hello, thanks for stopping by our channel! We got our contractor to provide the LED light strips as we didn't have time to source for it. There are quite a few shops selling on Shopee. You can check them out! Remember to get the power supply for it too! 🙂
Could you share your contractors contact please?
Thanks for the informative video! Wanted to ask if there is any need to get the electrician to submit to hdb for the addition/shifting of power point? And if after the completion, require to submit to SP services to test the points?
Hello! We're not too sure about the submission process as we left it to our main con to liaise with the electricians. You may consult with your ID/contractor on this. 🙂
Hi , how can we know the date key collection .where can get the information.
Hello! HDB will send you an SMS on the key collection date. Depending on the stage of your BTO project progress, you will be able to estimate the date.
@@lifewithmaniac thank's , but HDB officer say 4Q around october - december 2023. I say to officer my house already sold . Pls put me under urgent.
I see...perhaps you'll like to follow up with your officer to escalate your case. It also depends on the progress of your new home. if it isn't ready yet, i don't think you can collect your keys any sooner. Hope all goes well for you! 🙂
Did you opt for optional components scheme? I noticed that u dont have tiles but you do have doors.
hello! We didn't get to opt for the OCS since our BTO was from the SBF. It came with the sanitary fittings and doors OCS when we received our keys. 🙂
That green is so beautiful :O do you remember what the colour is called?
Hello! It's called Diving Pool from Nippon. Paint code BGG 2769A. :)
@@lifewithmaniac thank you!
Hi! Thanks for sharing your Reno journey with us! It’s always great to have you guys trying to help new homeowner like myself. I’m currently at the stage of doing my tiles. I was told by the tiler that over laying of wall tiles will never have zero non hollow spot. As I’m have no experience in the work of overlaying of tiles, hoping to seek advice from anyone here in understanding if what my tilers said is really true or I should insist on zero hollow spot?
hello! Congrats on your new home! Unfortunately, we can't input much on the zero hollow spot for wall tiles. It seems like tile adhesive/grout come to play as well. You may wish to seek a second opinion on this with a professional.🙏🏻 All the best with your reno! 🙂
Hi, May I know if the power cable (living room track lights) run thru the same route as the Ceiling fan? 2nd enquiry, your living room ceiling is not false ceiling right? Thank you! 1:53 2:08 2:11
hello! 1. Yes, same route 2. Yup, there is no false ceiling
Hi! Great looking colours! Was wondering is there a reason why you did not paint yellow for all the yard walls, specifically the one below the window. I've also painted my yard in a peach and notice that that space below the window shows the colour darker than the sides. Was wondering if it's the reflection of wall colour causing that.
Hello! We did consider painting it all yellow initially but wanted the yellow to stand out (like 2 feature walls). No specific reason for it. 😂 Peach is a nice choice of colour too!✌🏽 Perhaps it could be due to no light reflecting on the space below the window compared to the sides, hence it may appear darker.
@@lifewithmaniac thanks alot! Appreciate you taking time to reply!
